Whoa! I wasn't expecting that!
Jane Ellison is a "super recognizer" and recognizes a woman during her shift, Bella, who she swears was present when her younger sister, Kit, died. Jane breaks cover, ends up fired, and proceeds to figure out what Bella is doing on an island off the coast of Cape Cod and what happened the night Kit died.
This suspense novel starts as a slow burn and picks up the last third or so of the book. Jane is kind of an unreliable narrator, which will leave you second-guessing what you're reading constantly. (She even second-guesses herself!). Jane's narration keeps the book interesting because you'll question everything you're reading.
Speaking of Jane, the "super recognizer" element was fascinating. I have never heard of this skill, and I enjoyed reading Sarah's introduction (and inspiration) from her experience at London's Heathrow Airport.
Lastly, drug addiction and drug/substance abuse are mentioned quite a bit in this book. Sadly, drug abuse affects countless individuals, including Massachusetts. Thank you, Sarah, for your authenticity in including a personal note about your brother.
Overall, this is a psychological thriller I'd recommend because I enjoyed the pacing of the book and some of the outlandish characters.
